Acting Governor says independent study should be a top priority for agencies
August 8, 2008
Acting Governor Michael W. Cruz met with Legislative Speaker Judi Won Pat and Senator Frank Blas this morning to discuss next steps in developing an independent process and protocol to monitor the leakage of nuclear waste in Guam's inner Apra Harbor and any leakage in the future.
"This is a concern for our people and it needs to be addressed by our island's leaders," the Acting Governor said. "We recognize we do not have the expertise on Guam, which is why our agencies are seeking out existing policies to address this matter.
The Acting Governor was informed of the legislature's intention to appropriate one hundred thousand dollars to pursue resources that would assist independent testing and develop standard operating procedures moving forward. The proposed bill introduced by Senator BJ Cruz is expected to be addressed in legislative session today.
"Placing the bill in emergency status will allow it to be heard without a public hearing," Legislative Speaker Won Pat said. "The sooner we do this the better. There will be no hesitation to act on this bill and it will have the legislature's full support."
"I have discussed this bill with my colleagues and they support it moving forward quickly," Senator Blas said.
In a report released on Thursday, officials with U.S. Naval Forces Marianas presented information to the government of Guam that a shut valve in the USS Houston's engineering plant has been steadily leaking in Guam's inner Apra Harbor since June 2006. Of that time period, the submarine was docked in Guam's waters for 366 days.
"While the Navy is stating the leakage is apparently a negligible amount, I'm concerned at the fact that there is a leak at all," the Acting Governor said. "It is our priority to secure an independent study to review the Navy's results and any impact on our environment."
The Department of Public Health and Social Services, 94th Civil Support Team (CST), Guam Environmental Protection Agency and Guam Office of Homeland Security/Civil Defense officials are working with their federal counterparts to address radioactive release into Guam.
In response Guam EPA's request to examine the U.S. Navy's findings, U.S EPA stated they agree the amount of leakage was minimal however they question how data was presented and recommend Guam pursue independent testing.
